Opinion page editor Rick Holmes and other writers blog about national politics and issues. Holmes & Co. is a Blog for Independent Minds, a place for a free-flowing discussion of policy, news and opinion. This blog is the online cousin of the Opinion section of the MetroWest Daily News in Framingham, Mass. As such, our focus starts there and spreads to include Massachusetts, the nation and the world. Since successful blogs create communities of readers and writers, we hope the \x34& Co.\x34 will also come to include you.

In this post, and to be confirmed by a press release I will send to over a million news sources, I am announcing that I will not be running for president of the United States in 2016, and no amount of ululating by my adoring love slaves will change my mind.

So says Elizabeth Warren.

This morning, I’ve been getting emails from all over the country about this, asking this question: “Elizabeth who?”

Outside of a small circle of demented individuals, who really thinks that Elizabeth Warren is now fit to be president? I think after the Obama debacle, its going to be centuries before a untested, unheard of, raw, first term Senator is anything other than laughed at as ready for prime time.
